There is no shame in survival

There is no shame in survival

Kaiden only just barely managed to hide their mounting horror. This brat was so so so damn creepy. "Killing is supposed to only be for survival. And survival is everything." The mer stated firmly, both out of their own belief but also because even they knew could sense the path this conversation could take.
"I don't play. But.." the doll's eyes bore into their own and the brat's continued freakiness drove them to add. "I can show you. If you want."
Taking a second to process the fact that they were really about to do this, Kaiden gestured to a large fish that was swimming nearby. "Watch." Shifting into their shark form, Kaiden silently swam some distance away before doubling back and ambushing the fish. With a flash of teeth and a shake of his head, the water turned red. It only took a minute or two for the shark to eat but once they were done, Kaiden swam back over and shifted back.
Eyes locking with the doll's with an open challenge, Kaiden licked some of the residual blood off their arm before looking up to meet Trinket's eyes. "See? I killed a fish for a meal. Survival. Not a game."
